The three small words pierced into Long Chen's eyes like a sharp needle.
Although there was still a long distance between them, Long Chen's heart was still pounding. He was extremely nervous, complicated, and even shocked. At that moment, he stood still and stared at the gravestone.
"What's wrong?"
Li Xuanji asked softly.
She only noticed that the tombstone was very short, but she didn't see the three words "Long Qinglan" at the bottom of the tombstone.
Obviously, this was not Long Qinglan's tombstone. His tomb was in Poplar Town. But Long Chen knew that this tombstone, which was only ten meters high, was obviously related to Long Qinglan. It might even be related to the inheritance blood of the Ancient Blood Spiritual Dragon that he had once obtained here.
At the thought of this, Long Chen walked in that direction without hesitation.
"Wait."
Li Xuanji pointed at the ground. When they approached, the blood sand on the ground danced and condensed in the air, forming the two words "No Entry".
No Entry.
"It should be people from the Slaughter Dragon City. They won't let you in. This place is probably more dangerous."
Li Xuanji reminded him.
Long Chen pointed at the three words "Long Qinglan" on the tombstone.
When she saw those three words, Li Xuanji's expression was the same as his, full of astonishment.
Long Chen didn't stop at this time. He walked straight in that direction. There was nothing around to stop him. Because they were in the Slaughter Dragon Tomb, the territory of the Slaughter Dragon City, there were no guards here. As for the generals of the tomb, they had already gone to chase after Long Chen.
The two walked to the tombstone.
It was an ancient tombstone. It was pitch-black and rusty like steel. Only the three words "Long Qinglan" were carved on the corner of the tombstone.
Long Chen touched the three words with his fingers in a daze. It was full of ancient traces.
"As long as it's a tombstone, there must be something buried under it. I have to go down and have a look."
Long Chen said.
"I don't think that's a good idea. If it's the dead, then we'll be disturbing their eternal sleep. If it's not the dead, then there'll definitely be other terrifying dangers. It's best not to wander around."
Long Chen smiled, "Since I'm already here, how could I not investigate a bit? Enter my divine country."
Of course, he couldn't let Li Xuanji take the risk with him.
Actually, the best way was for her to fuse with him and become a part of his power. That way, he would become even stronger.
However, Long Chen felt that this wasn't a good idea. After all, the other party was a complete person. So even if he had that ability, Long Chen couldn't get over it.
"I'll do it this way. I hope it will be of some help to you."
Li Xuanji wouldn't mind so much.
She turned into a cloud and surged into Long Chen's body, causing Long Chen's power to become more abundant. There was also the feeling of the two of them merging into one. Long Chen could feel another heart beating in his body. The Yin Demon's power flowed through his body, filling his entire body, causing his combat strength to rise to another level.
After preparing, he was prepared to dig into the tombstone.
There was only blood sand at the bottom, so it was not difficult to enter. Long Chen dug along the tombstone and found that the part of the tombstone that went into the ground was very, very deep. He kept going down, and after advancing more than a hundred meters, he finally felt that it was almost there.
Suddenly, his vision cleared up and he entered an underground palace.
Long Chen instantly became wary, but luckily, there wasn't any danger at the start.
He first entered the Time Roaming Dragon state and scanned his surroundings. This was a very ordinary underground palace, but it had a long history, so it looked too dilapidated. It was mottled everywhere, a little like the War God Tomb in the Battlefield of the Gods, but the space was very large, just very empty.
Long Chen landed lightly on the ground and looked around carefully.
There were actually carvings on the ground. Long Chen took a close look and saw that they were a bunch of weird beasts. There were all sorts of them but they all had the same characteristics. Although they were just carvings, one could tell that they were really terrifying.
Long Chen started to walk forwards.
There were millions of carvings on the ground and there were many of them. They were endless.
"What are these?"
Long Chen was really depressed.
He thought back to his encounter in the War God Tomb. It was like a dream, like an illusion. It was just too far away and seemed so unreal. When he heard the name Sky Swallowing Race, Long Chen forgot about it. He didn't expect that he would be able to see them again today.
Each of the wild beasts was extremely strange.
There were even some that didn't look like beasts and looked really weird. For example, the Dragon Swallowing Beast that Long Chen had seen before was one of them.
Long Chen felt that there was something ahead, so he ignored the carvings under his feet and carefully walked forward.
Although he didn't care, Long Chen still saw a spherical thing suddenly appear under his feet.
It was also a carving.
But why did Long Chen feel that it was very familiar?
Especially the densely packed eyes on its body.
"This is … Sky Blood Hell."
Long Chen was extremely shocked.
He didn't expect Sky Blood Hell to be one of them.
In that case, did this race really exist?
Dragon Swallowing Beast, Sky Blood Hell, etc …
He had even seen a black wolf demon similar to Mo Xiaolang.
Long Chen noticed that they had a common trait, which was devouring. This was how the Sky Swallowing Race got their name.
Long Chen thought back to the huge bug he had met in the Endless Galaxy. If that was real, then it was indeed the biggest creature he had ever seen in his life. It was as big as the entire Eternal Celestial Realm.
"Sky Swallowing Race."
The more Long Chen thought about it, the more afraid he felt.
"Maybe I can't come into contact with things of this level yet. When I get stronger, or even become a God, I will be able to control more. And becoming a God doesn't seem too far away from me."
Right now, he had the third tier of the Ancestral Dragon Body, and his talent was invincible, so he was even more confident in himself.
As he thought about this, he walked for less than a quarter of an hour before Long Chen finally reached the end. He came to a huge underground space. In front of him, even if he transformed into a dragon, he would be able to move freely. It was hard to imagine that a graveyard could be so huge.
But a pool of blood in front of him attracted his attention.
It was a huge pool of blood, located in the center of the space. Even if Long Chen transformed into a dragon, he would be able to enter it.
The pool of blood was very calm, and there were nine rocks beside it. The rocks were strangely shaped, and they were covered in mysterious and ancient blood-colored runes. These nine rocks formed a formation that suppressed the pool of blood, forming a blood-colored seal that sealed the entire pool of blood.
This pool of blood was definitely the key to the entire tombstone.
Long Chen rushed forward impatiently.
"Be careful."
Li Xuanji couldn't help but remind him.
Long Chen nodded.
He walked around the pool of blood, and looked at the pool of blood that was suppressed by the blood-colored seal. "Xuanji, what do you think is sealed here?"
"I don't know. It should be related to your father, but it could also be that your father sealed something here."
"Oh …"
Long Chen nodded. "I'm thinking, could it be that he left something for me here …"
Anything was possible.
Long Chen was very hesitant.
Coming here, he couldn't return empty-handed. He definitely had to know what was below, but it was also very likely that something bad would happen.
But Long Chen was unwilling to give up.
In his eyes, Long Qinglan had countless secrets, and was even related to the mysterious God of Primordial Beginning. His name was written on the tombstone, but there was a pool of blood sealed beneath it. He had already come here, but was he going to retreat in the face of difficulties?
"I want to try to open this seal."
Long Chen said.
"You're too impatient. This might not be a good thing."
Li Xuanji said with concern.
"But I can't let go of any information that is related to me. Otherwise, how can I pursue what he was looking for?"
There were only two most important things left in his life.
One was to fulfill his father's last wish, and clear his name.
The other was to fulfill the common wish of him and Long Qinglan, and that was to uncover the mystery of the extinction of the dragons. This was very important to them. It was their dream and desire, and it was something that they had to do as the descendants of the dragons.
"Alright."
Li Xuanji saw the fervent look in his eyes, and said no more.
She respected Long Chen's choice.
He had finally caught a trace of Long Qinglan's whereabouts, and he would not give up. Even though he was a little impulsive, Long Chen could not help but be impulsive in the face of such a thing.
After making his decision, he resolutely stood before one of the rocks.
As long as he broke this rock, the matrix would collapse.
"Blood Spirit Spike."
Long Chen spun, forming the Blood Spirit Spike. This was the sharpest spike in the world. Long Chen used it to stab the rock, and the countless blood-colored runes on the rock formed a shield to resist. But right now, Long Chen's strength was too great, and the rock's protection was not very strong. Under his all-out attack, it exploded.
Just as the rock exploded, the seal array began to shake violently and the blood pool below began to churn. Countless blood-red bubbles emerged from the depths of the pool, as if a giant beast was awakening in the pool.
Long Chen stopped what he was doing and calmly looked at the blood pool below.
He was filled with anticipation.
Boom, boom, boom.
The ripples in the blood pool grew stronger, as if something was gradually emerging from it.
Because of the shattering of one rock, the other rocks also exploded, and the matrix completely collapsed.
At this moment, the ripples in the blood pool suddenly lessened, but Long Chen saw a shadow. Something was emerging from the blood pool.
Long Chen clenched his fists and watched nervously.
Finally, a person slowly emerged from the blood pool.
From the head, to the body, and then to the feet.
